Both of NBC‘s midseason private detective shows now have premiere dates.

The network will debut its comedy series Sunset P.I., starring Jake Johnson, on Monday, Feb. 8. It will join St. Denis Medical in an hour-long comedy block on Mondays, taking over the 8:30 p.m. spot from The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins (whose second season will conclude before then).

Sunset P.I. joins a remake of The Rockford Files on NBC’s midseason schedule. The latter, starring David Boreanaz, will premiere on Jan. 2 following an NFL game and move to its regular Thursday home on Jan. 7.

Created by Brooklyn Nine-Nine alumni Dan Goor and Luke Del Tredici, Sunset P.I. follows Mickey Wilder (Johnson, New Girl, The Dink) and the other private investigators at an agency based in Hollywood. Jane Levy, Langston Kerman, Mary Shalaby and Keith David also star. Goor and Del Tredici executive produce the show, which comes from Universal Television. Akiva Schaffer directed and exec produced the pilot episode.

Aside from the two private eye shows, NBC isn’t making many changes to its schedule at midseason. The network has yet to announce what will fill in for The Voice in the first part of 2027, but otherwise what NBC has on its schedule now will carry into the new year. (NBA games will replace NFL games on Sunday nights after football season ends.)

Along with the premiere date announcement for Sunset P.I., NBC also released several photos from the show. See them below.
